Happy birthday . . .

Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Canada. Many happy returns of the day, your Majesty.

Looking forward to September, when our Sovereign, currently the oldest living Monarch, will become the longest reigning monarch in over 1200 years.

She will in fact be the longest reigning monarch in British history, beating Queen Victoria. Not just in 'over 1200 years' whatever that means.

Elizabeth Set To Beat Victoria's Record As Longest Reigning Monarch In British History

It will be strange when William eventually becomes king. How many people here have seen Canadian money without the Queen on it? Comp maybe? I don't know. Not many. So, it will quite the change when she eventually passes on.

Charles before William. Unless he abdicates, which is a long shot at best.

True enough, I forgot about him.
